the position he now seeks at the hands of
their representatives in the legislature.
He presented for the consideration of the
people his views upon all leading public
questions of the day, that they might
weigh them we'll, decide upon their merits
and instruct their representatives in ao-
cordance with their conclusions. BY such
course he recognized the people as the
true source of oil political power and
honors, proved himself a democrat in the
only proper Specification of the term, and
taught lesson for the future conduct of
both candidates and people that is
invaluable. No matter how the
senatorial contests results, Judge Terrell
has already rendered the cause of true
democracy, a rule by the people, of the
people and for the people, service that
deserves grateful recognition. His ex-
ample should act as precedent for SEN
atorial candidates in all the future, and
should, as it undoubtedly will, cause the
people TO see the propriety of submitting
all claims to place and promotion in the
public service to them, the prime, pure
source of all political authority.
How different was the conduct of Judge
Reagan. He appears to have deliberately
misled the people as to his intentions.
He submitted his qualifications for one
| Ala..
accepted his offer and elected him to hold
the place he then sought; and now he
comes and asks their representatives to
alter their appointment and give him a
different place higher up. We regard
this latter conduct as positive insult TO
true democracy, willful disregard of the
plainest rights of the people, trifing
with them in their most serious concerns,
contempt of thoir authority, tramp
ling upon their dignity and intelligent
wishes. The conduct of these two men in
this regard is important to be remember
ed by tie people, not so much in the in
terest of the individuals directly connect
ed with it, as for the good of the republi-
can form of government under which we
live. Apart from all personal merits
of these aspirants for public honors this
conduct should be considered on next
Tuesday. Both of the gentlemen are
thoroughly qualified, intellectually, for
service in the national senate;
either could personally represent the peo-
pie creditably. But one would be true
representative, direct from the hands OF
the people, and the other would have to
be, as it we're, smuggled through at Sec
3 ond hand.

TERRY's REGIME NT.
GRAND REUNION AND SUPPER NJ
THE DRlSEILL.

GRAND REUNION AND SUPPER AZ
THE DRlSKILL.
About sixty members of General Frank
Terry's brigade convened last night at tho
Driskill hotel, to participate i'll grand
reunion and supper and social souvenir OF
their gathering. STATESMAN reporter
was present from about 10 O'Clock, when
the festivities began, till about O'Clock i'll
the morning, when the gala events of the
occasion were still progressing. And
such an occasion! 1t would take whole
page of The STATESMAN to picture even III
the faintest, much less graphic terms,
The principal features of the evening
were the fine addresses of Judge John b.
Rector, of Austin; Hon. Gustave Cooh, of
Houston; Governors Ross and Ireland, ex-
Governor Lubbock and others. Judge
Cooks address alone occupied fully two
hours, and was listened to, as
were the addresses of the
other speakers with the most absorbing
interest. Judge Cooks address particu
larly was wonder of wit as well as wis
dom; Gen. Ross's was splendid; Gov. Ire
lands was grand; Rector's and L1bbock's
mastery, and the others more or less In
teresting, and all IN good taste and appro-
pirate to the occasion. The terms thus
used are not expletive, for each
address was in some sense
an inspiration animate with the
the grand spirit of the occasion, and TEE
STATESMAN representative, while gratltied
to be present at such rare intellectual
feast, regrets that the lateness of the hour
at which the speeches were concluded,
| l. lufo ,oncciI,la f,,r him tn
attempt to paint the animated picture
of so many congenial spirits, moved
in harmony with the noble senti-
ments which flow from such brave hearts
into grand diapason of expression. 1t
was a dithyramb of exultatiOn on the
part of so many of the gallant veter-
ans of the gallant Terry's commend and as
many more invited friends as their guests.
AS Gov. Ireland eloquently expressed
it, it was like meeting of the Old Guard,
something to be perpetuated in the hearts
of the people as long as there was man
of tn EN- left to answer the roll call, for
themselves or their comrades. But We
have not time or space to follow
the incidents of the occasion further than
to give the programme of the toasts and
addresses OF the evening, which were sand
wiched with appetizing delicacies spread
upon tables arranged in II (Texas and
Terry order, and were as follows:
"The Ladies of the South"-T. A. Lub
book.
"The Surviving Rangers in Civil Life
j. M. Claiborne.
"The Lost Cause"-Osceola Archer.
Cross Brigade"-L. S. Ross.
"The Private Soldier'-B. G. Giles.

"The State of Texas"-Stephen Che
nault.

FOR GOOD PURPOSES.

Mrs. M. A. Dauphin, of Philadelphia, is
we'll known to the ladies of that city from
the great good she has done by means of
Lydia L. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
She writes Mrs. Pinkham of recent in
teresting case. "a young married lady
came to me suffering with severe case Of
prolapsus and liberation. She COM
menced taking the Compound, and ia two
months was fully restored. In proof of
this she soon found herself in an interest
ing condition. Influenced by foolish
friends she attempted to evade the re-
sponsib1lities of maturity. After ten or
twelve days she came TO me again and she
was indeed in a most alarming state and
suffered terribly. 1 gave her table
spoonful of the compound every hour for
eight hours until she fell asleep. She
awoko much relieved, and evidently bet
ter. She continued taking the Compound,
and in due season she became the mother
of fine, healthy boy. But for the timely
use of the medicine she believes her life
would have been lost"
Your druggist has the Compound. 81

the shorter haul is included in the longer.
To insure the enforcement of the law
and the regulation 1t is designed to effect
the bill provides for board of five com
missioners to be appointed by the pres'
dent and senate and to receive an annual
salary of seven thousand five hundred
dollars each. The principal Office of the
commission is to be in Washington. Its
general sessions are TO be held there
special sessions may b held in any part
of the country.
The commission is to inquire into the
management and business of all railway
corporations; TO hear and investigate
complaints against them; to render de-
cisions ard to move in the courts against
any corporation that does not heed its
decisions"
We confidently expect from this law
great commercial benefits. Its influence
over the owners of railways and their
patrons will, we believe, be toward es-
tablishing mutual confidence and friend
illness.

The announcement in the afternoon
papers yesterday of the appointment of
Dr. Rutherford, of Houston, as state
health officer, seems to have been prema-
ture. From the best information that
could be obtained last night, 1t can be
stated that no appointment has yet been
made. 1t is understood that numerous
petitions from different parts of the
state endorsing DR.. Swearingen
in strong terms, and asking
his re-appointment has been forwarded to
Austin to be presented to Governor Ross.
No man can question the fact that DR..
Swearingen has made faithful and eff
cient officer. He possesses the ability
and the nerve necessary to properly fill
this position, and that he has given salts
faction is evidenced by the interest mani
tested in his disappointment.

TO THE VISITORS.

GERMAN FOR A ROUNDUP.

TIE AUSTIN BOYS CIV E "A u Kan ID
GERMAN FOR A ROUNDUP.
The "grandest yet" never seems to be
ultimately reached. Each successive So
ciety event seems to be gotten up with the
idea Of eclipsing anything that has had
precedence in time. The german COM
plimentary to the visitors was no excep-
ton to this prevailing rule, and that it
outshone any previous entertainment
gym by the club, will not be gainsaid.
There were quite a number of visitors
still remaining out of the crowds
to the inaugural, and the boys could
not find it in them to allow
them to depart without showing them the
hospitality of the city.
The visiting young ladies were looked
after by the Austin boys, and the home
beauty was taken care of by the he folk"
visitors-a plan of action admirable in
itself, as it gave the strangers better
chance of forming their opinions Of Aus
